It is stated on what appears to
be good authority that the yellow
fever sensation at Goldsboro was due
to 'he appearance ot a young man in
that place, who was just from Flori
da., with a mild form of the disease.
It is not thought that yellow . fever
can ever be epidemic in so cleanly an
inland town as Goldsboro.

A pair of mules hitched to a
wagon ran away yesterday, evening
arid created a good deal of excitement
on South Elm - Street. . They began
running in front of Pretzfelder's store
and did not stop until" tbey got it n
front ot the North ' State , office,
although they left the wagon at the
water plug in front of Fitzsioions
drug store, against which tbey ran in
their wild career. There was not
much damage done.
The Fire Alarm Last Night.'
At about one o'clock ' last night the
fire alarm was heard, and upon in
quiry it was found that the roof of
the Electric Light Engine house was
on fire on its underside, supposed to
haye been in consequence of shutting
down and closing up the room1 while
excessive heat was jet in the boiler,
The Fire Company responded soon
after the alarm was given, but, even
before the alarm was' sounded from
the court house--bell, the South
Gieensboro Reel Team, which is .lo
cated at J. and C. Lewis' shop, were
already on the spot and at .work,
using the 2oo feet of hose attached to
the hydrant located not far from , the
' dynamo plant. . The railroad hands
also assisted efficiently with buckets
of water from the tank near the fac
tories.' v
' The work waa most handsomely
dona, and the fire suppressed in abort
order.' The only damage was the
breaking of one of the window.
. It ia due the waterworks company
to say again that tha ,: supply of water
saved, the building from ruins'! The
Electric Light Company authorized us
to return their thanks to the Heel
Team and railroad hands for the very
prompt and efficient, work done.
.v. The pastor of Flat Rock circuit
began a ' protracted . meeting at the
Flat Rock appointment on Sunday
last. The day was warm and the at
tendance large. Rev. RIL Wills,
and the pastor.preached on Sunday to
good congregations.. :'0n ; Monday
the attendance" was" good,' and' in the
afternoon, after a sermon" by Brd.
Wills j"there was a ' decided move
menf in the church,, and . several came
forward as seekers, and one soul
("professed ' to be "born" again. The
meeting continued, with prospects of
increased spirituality.
Very few of those who worship
ped at pat Rock in (18435, ttmtia
to this day. . Herhapa-' there were
-three or four present on Sunday
,while only one lives near enough to
be a regular attendant There may
be anuiny as sixteen in allfbut they
dwell widely apart But it is quite
remarkable that so many as sixteen
should survive of a society dating
sack forty-three years 1 The grave
yard has been enlarged, and the ma
jority have been laid away in beds of
dust. What an, army, will rise from
that inclosure when the resurrection
trump shall sound ! Death will car
ry on his work as the great reaper un
til there shall be none left to fall un
der hisjgreat sickle What changes
there have been in forty-three years 1
Gray hairs adorn the temples of all
who were living at that day, and
there are hundreds of younger ones,
who have but recently come upon
the stace. A eoodly number of
these, but not all, are known as disci
pies and believers, and claim to be
followers of the Lamb. The Lord
help us who remain to hold fast unto
the end. .

The Value of a Idle-
The courts as a rule fix tbe value
of a person killed by a railroad at
$5,000, but vital '' statisticians place
tbe valu of an adult person to the
State at $750. and ihe annual pro
duotive power at $05.'"' One-half 01
all deaths occur during thejsproduo-
tive age. Tbe total annual deaths
in tbe United States this year is
200,000 therefore oreating a loss 0
$150,000,000. There at s also 1,-
500,000 persons sick all tbe tune in
the United btates, causing a loss 0
$142,500,000. A large per cent, o
deaths is Caused by preventable
diseases.
The relative market value of tbe
different parts of the human body
have been calculated by a German
mathematician with a view to fix a
basis for tbe award of damages in
the case of disablement. Tbe loss
of both eyes, arms, legs,, bands or
feet, is pat at 100, that of the right
arm at 60, or a left at 50. tbe right
hand at 33J, an eye at 23,' tbe left
thumb or right forefinger at 8, and
any other finger of the left band at
